I'm assuming they aren't soldered together. They are still 2 seperate pieces.
There are a couple options for the engagement ring during the ceremony.
Now, for the most part, the wedding band goes on the bottom of the finger with the engagement ring ontop (some old tradition of it being closest to your heart) So for the engagement ring:
1. She can hand it to her MOH to hold during the ceremony and put it back on right after.
2. She can put it on her right hand and put it back on the proper finger afterwards (this is what I'm doing)
3. She can leave it on and just switch them around afterwards.
4. She can put it on the ring pillow and have you put both on her hand. Personally I'm not a fan of this way because you give her the engagement ring when you propose and the wedding band when you marry. One should not be given at the opposite time. Does that wording make sense? lol
Lol, this sounds familiar... I went through the same problem not so long ago :D
According to my mother the tradition is for the bride to wear the engagement ring on her right hand ring finger for the ceremony and then afterwards she can put it back on her left hand.
If the engagement ring doesn't fit her right hand (mine is a squeeze) then she can hand it to her MOH along with the bouquet, doesn't wear it for the ceremony (have her mom hold it) and puts it on afterwards or does wear it and you just put the wedding ring on in front of it. I know that a lot of people say that the wedding band has to go on first but I don't think it's something that's set in stone.
Personally I don't like the idea of both rings on the ring pillow but why don't you talk to her and ask her what she thinks of the alternatives.
Good luck with everything!
My husband & I were married in Nov in a traditional Christian ceremony. My engagement ring fit inside my wedding band. (It went above & below the engagement ring) We had them fused together a couple of days before the wedding, & the ring bearer carried the whole thing.
If your fiance's is still going to be separate & she wants to wear the engagement ring while getting ready, etc, she could take it off and you could put it back on with the wedding band.
Like the fourth answer - the wedding bands are the rings to be given at the wedding ceremony. I wore my engagement ring on the other hand, the wedding band was placed on my hand during the ceremony, then after the ceremony, I placed my engagement ring on overtop of the wedding band.
If the e-ring doesn't fit a finger on the other hand well, she can have someone hold it for her until after the ceremony.
first of all, the real rings don't go on the ring pillow. you really want a 6 year old ring bearer carrying around thousands of dollars worth of diamonds? bad idea. the best man holds the rings during the ceremony. your fiancee can put her engagement ring on her right hand before the ceremony, then you can put the wedding band on her left hand andwhen you walk out of the church, she can put her engagement ring back on her left hand.
what i have seen is the woman is wearing the engagment ring, and you put the wedding band over it, then after the ceremony you switch them around to the band is closest to the heart.
or she could just wear the engagment ring on her right hand, some people leave it there and most people put it over the wedding band.
in our little corner of the world we wear our engagement ring on our right hand until after the ceremony - after the ceremony and before the pictures we slip our engagement ring back on over our wedding band. this way the bride knows where her engagement ring is and there is no fear of it getting misplaced or worse............
good luck and happy wedding!
It depends on your religion and form of ceremony. I personally am going to keep my engagement ring on during my wedding and have the band placed in front of it since that is how they fit together. Try asking her what her preference is and go from there.
She can put her engagement ring on her right hand then move it back to her left after the ceremony or you can just pop the ring on her left ring finger then she can switch them around afterwards.
i've hear that most women like to wear the wedding ring closer to the arm, so she could take the engagement ring off before the ceremony and you could put it back on during. it kind of depends on how she wants to wear them though i guess.
With that type of ring, most brides already have on the engagement ring, and the wedding band is put on during the wedding ceremony....
but the choice is entirely up to you two.......
She should not wear her engagement ring during the ceremony when you both exchange rings. After the ceremony, she can wear both together.
